Pyro help

Post by Artacoma »

Just installed my pyro in my egr blanking pate, went on a test drive and it worked great , I was amazed at how fast it responded to a little pedal.
Buuuuut after a couple of kms the needle got jumpy and quit . I was using a temp power supply and checked it and it was all ok and suddenly the guage worked again so i checked for a pinched wire but all looked good and the guage worked intermittantly and then stopped.
So I've ripped out the drivers eat again and checked over everything , the wiring tests ok and everything looks snug.
So my question is how would I use a multimeter to test the probe/wiring to find the fault?

What are you wiring it to ?

I had it to the power wire in the instrument cluster and it turned out everytime I use the power windows, the pyro would flicker like crazy.

Wiring the power wire into something that fluctuates will give you similar symptoms that you are having.

I just jammed the wire in a hot spot in the fuse box for testing purposes. Actually that sounds more casual than what I did, I want to be sure it's working before I permanently mount it. I really envy the L400's right now with their new fangled hoods over the engine bay.
I'll jump back in there in a couple of hours and start testing my wires for continuity and power and ground and see if I get lucky.
Is it possible to add a circuit to the fuse panel?
I assume it's gotta be a switched power source.

Just finished the most beautiful gauge installation ever. :o
Maramiesto came over to provide spiritual guidance :-D 8-) and Lordco runs.
Calm cool thoughts ruled the day.
Just had to rewire in a nonscrappy way and it all works fine.
If anyone needs 8-) help 8-) your dash can look as cool as mine in 48 hrs or less.
